Also, the opportunity to take top level courses from the departments of information science, geography, architecture, and civil engineering is truly attractive.

What are your career ambitions?

I am interested in the entrepreneurial environment of urban spaces. I would like to gain job experiences in urban economic development, private real-estate development and also smart city projects. I also hope to work internationally and gain a wider perspective of how different cultures approach planning issues accordingly to their own needs.
